Sobre IBD

There have always been fashions in poetry, and the current fashion is for free verse. Even the most cursory look at the latest poetry magazines will reveal the unyielding trend for non-formal, unrhymed verse. The leading poetry magazine, Poetry Review (the organ of the Poetry Society) features no rhymed verse.         Even Milton pointed out how rhyme could act as a limitation in the writing of poetry – and there are no rhymes in Paradise Lost. However, there is a formal structure in that Milton writes in blank verse, not free verse: that is unrhymed iambic pentameters. This technique in a more flexible form has been used by T.S. Eliot.

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

Language has an aesthetic as well as a utilitarian function, and appreciation of the forme...

  • Wittgenstein’s Football Tactics
    Tim Hopkins
    Poetry anthologies, by definition, will feature a variety of styles, themes and approaches. The possible disadvantages are that we find old favourites time and time again, which are undoubtedly worth including. But we may come to see them too often. It’s also possible that the constant switches from older verses to newer ones, and from traditional verses to experimental, may le...
